VIREAS: Virtual Reality in Keeping Oldere Adults active

Category: User Experience

A set of virtual experiences VIREAS (The Set) has been developed based on several tests and studies among care home residents. The Set contains three virtual experiences: "Walk through a Forest," "Walk through the City Center," and "Travel." The interactive design combines computer graphics and 360?pictures. The Set is designed to positively influence older adults' self-expression and self-confidence, motivate them and stimulate their curiosity. The Set allows older users, especially those in care homes, to see places they cannot visit in the real world and brings them new stimuli they can share with others. The software VIREAS is beneficial mainly in care homes as tool for keeping residents active. The conceptual manual Virtual Reality and Its Use in Care Homes and Beyond focus both on the technical matters of virtual reality use and aspects of the virtual experience, together with the procedures that will make it possible to fully utilize the potential of this method.
